The most popular visited individual islands are those in the Society Islands, Moorea, Tahiti, Bora Bora, Raiatea and Huahine, with very limited tourist development these islands offer an experience of island living that has changed very little over the centuries that man has been in occupation. From the sublime comforts of the world-class hotels, visitors are gently encouraged on their South Pacific holiday to explore this natural wonderland, a paradisiacal place of dramatic mountain peaks, powder white sands and reef-protected lagoons. Sunbathing and relaxation are popular here, whilst the outrigger canoes, jeep-excursions, sunset cruises, scuba-diving or even joining in on excursions to feed the reef sharks are all available. With over 7 hours of daily sunshine and an average temperature of 30° C French Polynesia is an ideal all year round South Pacific destination for your holidays, a magical environment for those looking for romance and seclusion. |

Fiji is an infectiously happy place, as most Polynesian islands are. Fiji, however, boasts particularly boisterous and friendly locals and offers to-die-for fishing, diving, and surfing opportunities all in a magnificent tropical paradise setting.
In addition, Fiji is an intriguing mixture of Melanesian, Micronesian, Polynesian, Indian, European, and Chinese influences, so you are in for cultural and culinary treats. The key word in Fiji, the first Fijian word you will learn, and maybe the only one you will remember, is “bula” (hello). This word pretty much embodies the Fijian way of life. In Fiji you will be welcomed with open arms and often smiled at (so smile back!).
There's never really a bad time to visit Fiji because its tropical climate keeps temperatures comfortable year-round. If you had to choose, it might be wise to travel to Fiji during the winter (May-October), which is considered the dry season where days are cooler, and there is a little less rain and humidity.

South Pacific Holiday on
The Cook Islands A beautiful volcanic island surrounded by lagoon and reef with a rich rainforest and thriving culture. |
|
|
The Cook Islands is a net of 15 islands in the heart of the South Pacific spread over an area the size of India with a population no bigger than a small New Zealand country town, 13,200 souls. These unique and friendly Polynesians have their own language and government and enjoy a vigorous and diverse culture with significant differences between each island.
Despite some 100,000 visitors a year to the capital island – Rarotonga – the Cook Islands are largely unspoiled by tourism. They offer a rare opportunity for people from the cities of the world to experience a different type of vacation.
There are no high-rise hotels on the Cook Islands and very little hype. The Cook Islands are ideal for travellers seeking more than the usual clichés associated with the South Seas, each of the Cook Islands has its own unique qualities and offers the visitor a special experience.
